Good if you are transporting rods or pew pews on a plane or over rough terrain.

And good sale on trevala rods:

The trevala is one of my favorite rods. Love mine for all around ocean fishing. Even did great for herring lol

I just picked up a trevala at the sportsman's show for 100. Can't wait to try it out.

Gig Harbor Fly Shop has Visi Carbon Pro's for $49... Pretty much 50% off

My trevala 7’ ML is my most expensive rod (I am cheap with rods), but probably my most versatile. I have caught sturgeon, salmon and bottom fish on it and it has performed great.

Will echo the praise for the Trevala, it hurt the pocket a bit when I typically try to spend <$75 on rods, but it's been super versatile and made ocean fishing infinitely better and more comfortable.

On the deal front it's been slow for whatever reason. I am still looking for great deals, but alas they've been few and far in between.

Agree on the Trevala!

Also, Fisherman's still has some great deals until the end of the month like 40% off of bulk line installed and 10% off your entire purchase.

Yeah Fishermans has had some unadvertised deals that are pretty good.  Crab pots were on their typical $14 sale, but not in any of the ads.  They had Trevalas on sale too I believe.   

Wilderness Systems Lithium Battery @ REI for $75 (MSRP 125)

Dang! That's a good deal, except it only handles 1 amp, that won't work for me or folks with bigger fish finders.

That is definitely a good deal, I think deptrai here had one and ran into several issues with it.  Not a bad deal if you're willing to risk it for the features. It's definitely a nice unit IF it works... Perhaps the newer batches have fixed some of the problems he had.

I do remember reading on here some issues people were having.  Curious if they were battery issues or trying to put too large of load on it?  Reading the description it sounds like 7" FF pull too much juice for this particular battery. 

Seems like the nocqua are a bit more popular than the WS battery, but could be good for someone trying to lighten up.

http://www.quantumfishing.com/  has 50% off sitewide with code 20CLASSIC50. I personally don't own any quantum gear as of now but they make some pretty decent products that may be worth it with the discount.

Also they own Fin-Nor which I don't know much about (must be an east coast thing) and there's some lever drags that are a good price (can't speak to quality.) They're unfortunately all Right hand only so no love for us leftys. The discount seems to work there too.

20 years ago, the Quantum Energy line was one of the best reels around. They kind of went downhill after that, but I haven't used anything recently. With that discount it might be worth checking them out again.
